Exercise sheet 4 repeats the contents of this slide set which are relevant for these learning

objectives

Hard Disk Drives

HDDs are approx. 100 times less expensive per bit versus main memory and they offer approx. 100 times more capacity

Drawback: Accessing data on HDDs is approx. 1000 times slower Reason for the poorer access time:

HDDs are mechanical devices

They contain one or more discs, rotating with 4200, 5400, 7200, 10800, or 15000 revolutions per minute (RPM)

For each side of each disk, an arm exists with a read-and-write head The read-and-write head is used to detect and modify the magnetization of the material

The distance between disk and head is approx. 20 nanometers Also, HDDs have a cache (usually ≤ 32 MB)

This cache buffers read and write operations

(4)

Logical Structure of Hard Disk Drives (1/2)

The surfaces of the platters (discs) are magnetized in circular tracks by the heads

All tracks on all disks at a specific arm position are part of a cylinder The tracks are divided into logical units (segments of a circle), which are called blocks or sectors

Typically, a sector contains 512 bytes payload

Sectors are the smallest addressable units of HDDs

(5)

Logical Structure of Hard Disk Drives (2/2)

If data need be modified, the entire sector must be read and rewritten Today, clusters are addressed by the software (see slide set 6)

Clusters are groups of sectors with a fixed size, e.g. 4 or 8 kB

In file systems of modern operating systems, clusters are the smallest addressable unit of HDDs

(6)

Addressing Data on Hard Disk Drives

HDDs with a capacity ≤ 8 GB use the Cylinder-Head-Sector addressing CHS faces several limitations:

The Parallel ATA interface and the BIOS offer just. . . 16 bits for the cylinders (up to 65,536)

8 bits for the heads (up to 255. Head number 0 is not used) 8 bits for the sectors/track (up to 255. Sector number 0 is not used)

≤ 7.844 GB can be addressed this way

1024 cylinders * 255 heads * 63 sectors/track * 512 bytes/sector = 8,422,686,720 bytes 8,422,686,720 bytes / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 7.844 GB

No 2.5” or 3.5” HDD contains > 16 heads!!!

Logical heads were used

HDDs with a capacity > 7.844 GB use Logical Block Addressing (LBA)

All sectors are numbered consecutively beginning with 0

(7)

Logical Block Addressing (LBA)

Image source IT-Handbuch für Fachinformatiker.

6th edition.

When CHS addressing is used, all tracks contain the same number of sectors

Each sector stores stores 512 bytes of payload

Drawback: Storage capacity is wasted, because the data density decreases from the inner tracks to the outer tracks

When LBA is implemented, this drawback does not exist

(8)

Required Time to access Data on HDDs

The access time is an important performance factor 2 factors influence the access time of HDDs

1

Average Seek Time

The time that it takes for the arm to reach a desired track Is for modern HDDs between 5 and 15 ms

2

Average Rotational Latency Time

Delay of the rotational speed, until the required disk sector is located under the head

Depends entirely on the rotational speed of the disks Is for modern HDDs between 2 and 7.1 ms

Average Rot. Lat. Time [ms] =

1000 [ms]

[sec] × 60 [sec]

[min] × 0.5 revolutions

[min]

=

30,000 [ms]

[min]

revolutions [min]

Why does the equation contain 0.5 ?

Once the head has reached the right track, on average a half rotation of the disk must be waited for the correct sector to be under the head =⇒Average Rotational Latency Time = half Rotational Latency Time

(9)

Solid State Drives (SSD)

Are sometimes falsely called Solid State Disks Do not contain moving parts

Benefits:

Fast access time Low power consumption No noise generation Mechanical robustness Low weight

The location of data does not matter = ⇒ defragmenting

makes no sense

Drawbacks:

Higher price compared with HDDs of the same capacity Secure delete or overwrite is hard to implement

Limited number of program/erase cycles

(10)

Functioning of Flash Memory

Data is stored as electrical charges

In contrast to main memory, no electricity is required to keep the data

Each flash memory cell is a transistor and has 3 connectors Gate = control electrode

Drain = electrode Source = electrode

The floating gate stores electrons (data) Completely surrounded by an insulator Electrical charge remains stable for years

Well written explanation about the functioning of flash memory Benjamin Benz.Die Technik der Flash-Speicherkarten. c’t 23/2006

(11)

Reading Data from Flash Memory Cells

A positively doped (p)

semiconductor separates the 2 negatively doped (n) electrodes drain and source

Equal to a npn transistor, the npn passage is not conductive without a base current

Above a certain positive voltage (5V) at the gate (threshold) a n-type channel is created in the p-area

Current can flow between source and drain through this channel If the floating gate contains electrons, the threshold is different

A higher positive voltage at the gate is required, so that current can flow between source and drain

This way the stored value of the flash memory cell is read out

(12)

Writing Data into Flash Memory Cells

Data is stored inside flash memory cells by using

Fowler-Nordheim tunneling

A positive voltage (5V) is applied to the control gate As a result, electrons can flow between source and drain

If the high positive voltage is sufficient high (6 to 20V), some electrons are tunneled (= ⇒ Fowler-Nordheim tunneling) through the insulator into the floating gate

This method is also called Channel Hot Electron Injection

(13)

Erasing Data in Flash Memory Cells

For erasing a flash memory cell, a negative voltage (-6 to -20V) is applied at the control gate

As a result, electrons are tunneled in the reverse direction from the floating gate

The insulating layer, which surrounds the floating gate, suffers from each erase cycle

At some point the insulating layer is no longer sufficient to hold the charge in the floating gate

For this reason, flash memory survives only a limited number of

program/erase cycles

(14)

Functioning of Flash Memory

Memory cells are connected to blocks and (depending on the structure also in) pages

A block always contains a fixed number of pages

Write and erase operations can only be carried out for entire pages or blocks

For this reason, write and erase operations are more complex than read operations

If data in a page need to be modified, the entire block must be erased To do this, the block is copied into a buffer memory

In the buffer memory, the data is modified Next, the block is erased from the flash memory

Finally, the modified block is written into the flash memory

(15)

Different Types of Flash Memory

2 types of flash memory exist:

NOR memory NAND memory

The circuit symbol indicates the way, the memory cells are connected

This influences the capacity and access time (latency)

(16)

NOR Memory

Each memory cell has its data line Benefit:

Random access for read and write operations

= ⇒ Better latency compared with NAND memory Drawback:

More complex (= ⇒ expensive) construction Higher power consumption than NAND memory Typically small capacities (≤ 32 MB)

Does not contain pages

The memory cells are grouped together to blocks Typical block sizes: 64, 128 or 256 kB

No random access for erase operations

Erase operations can only be done for entire blocks

Fields of application

Industrial environment (e.g. automotive), storing the firmware of a computer system

(17)

NAND Memory

The memory cells are grouped to pages Typical page size: 512-8192 bytes

Each page has it’s data line

Each block consists of a number of pages Typical block sizes: 32, 64, 128 or 256 pages

Benefit:

Lesser data lines = ⇒ requires < 50% of the surface area of NOR memory Lower manufacturing costs compared with NOR flash memory

Drawback:

No random access = ⇒ Poorer latency compared with NOR memory Read and write operations can only be carried out for entire pages Erase operations can only be carried out for entire blocks

Fields of application

USB flash memory drives,

SSDs, memory cards

(18)

Single/Multi/Triple/Quad-Level Cell

4 types of NAND flash memory exist

QLC memory cells store 4 bits TLC memory cells store 3 bits MLC memory cells store 2 bits SLC memory cells store 1 bit SLC storage. . .

is most expensive

provides the best write speed survives most program/erase cycles

SLC memory survives approx. 100,000 - 300,000 program/erase cycles MLC memory survives approx. 10,000 program/erase cycles TLC and QLC memory survives approx. 1,000 program/erase cycles Also memory cells exist, which survive millions of program/erase cycles

(19)

Wear Leveling

Wear leveling algorithms evenly distribute write operations File systems, which are designed for flash memory, and therefore minimize write operations, are e.g. JFFS, JFFS2, YAFFS and LogFS

JFFS contains its own wear leveling algorithm

This is often required in embedded systems, where flash memory is

directly connected

(20)

Latency of Hard Disk Drives

The performance of CPUs, cache and main memory is growing faster than the data access time (latency ) of HDDs:

HDDs

1973: IBM 3340, 30 MB capacity, 30 ms data access time 1989: Maxtor LXTl00S, 96 MB capacity, 29 ms data access time 1998: IBM DHEA-36481, 6 GB capacity, 16 ms data access time 2006: Maxtor STM320820A, 320 GB capacity, 14 ms data access time 2011: Western Digital WD30EZRSDTL, 3 TB capacity, 8 ms data access time 2018: Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST14000DM001, 14 TB capacity, 4-5 ms data access time

CPUs

1971: Intel 4004, 740 kHz clock speed 1989: Intel 486DX, 25 Mhz clock speed 1997: AMD K6-2, 550 Mhz clock speed

2007: AMD Opteron Santa Rosa F3, 2.8 GHz clock speed 2010: Intel Core i7 980X Extreme (6 Cores), 3.33 Ghz clock speed 2018: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX (32 Cores), 3 Ghz clock speed 2020: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X (64 Cores), 2.9 Ghz clock speed

The latency of SSDs is ≤ 1 µs = ⇒ ≈ factor 100 better than HDDs But the gap grows because of interface limitations and multiple CPU cores

Further challenge

Storage drives can fail = ⇒ risk of data loss

Enhance latency and reliability of HDDs and SSDs = ⇒ RAID

(21)

Redundant Array of independent Disks (RAID)

The performance of the HDDs can not be improved infinitely HDDs contain moving parts

Physical boundaries must be accepted

One way to avoid the given limitations in terms of speed, capacity and reliability, is the parallel use multiple components

A RAID consists of multiple drives (HDDs or SSDs)

For users and their processes, a RAID behaves like a single large drive Data is distributed across the drives of a RAID system

The RAID level specifies how the data is distributed

The most commonly used RAID levels are RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 5

Patterson, David A., Garth Gibson, and Randy H. Katz,A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID), Vol. 17.

No. 3, ACM (1988)

(22)

RAID 0 – Striping – Acceleration without Redundancy

No redundancy

Increases only the data rate

Drives are partitioned into blocks of equal size

If read/write operations are big enough (> 4 or 8 kB), the operations can be carried out in parallel on multiple drives or on all drives

In the event of a drive failure, not the entire data can be reconstructed

Only small files, which are stored entirely on the remaining drives, can be reconstructed (in theory) RAID 0 should only be used when security is

irrelevant or backups are created at regular intervals

(23)

RAID 1 – Mirroring

At least 2 drives of the same capacity store identical data

If the drives are of different sizes, RAID 1 provides only the capacity of the smallest drive

Failure of a single drive does not cause any data loss Reason: The remaining drives store the identical data A total loss occurs only in case of the failure of all drives

Any change of data is written on all drives Not a backup replacement

Corrupted file operations or virus attacks take place on all drives

The read performance can be increased by intelligent

distribution of requests to the attached drives

(24)

RAID 2 – Bit-Level Striping with Hamming Code Error Correction Each sequential bit is stored on a different drive

Bits, which are powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.) are parity bits

The individual parity bits are distributed over multiple drives

= ⇒ increases the throughput Was used only in mainframes

Is no longer relevant

(25)

RAID 3 – Byte-level Striping with Parity Information

Parity information is stored on a dedicated parity drive

Each write operation on the RAID causes write operations on the dedicated parity drive

= ⇒ bottleneck

Was replaced by RAID 5

Payload drives Sum even/odd Parity drive

Bits are 0 + 0 + 0 = ⇒ 0 = ⇒ Sum is even = ⇒ Sum bit 0

Bits are 1 + 0 + 0 = ⇒ 1 = ⇒ Sum is odd = ⇒ Sum bit 1

Bits are 1 + 1 + 0 = ⇒ 2 = ⇒ Sum is even = ⇒ Sum bit 0

Bits are 1 + 1 + 1 = ⇒ 3 = ⇒ Sum is odd = ⇒ Sum bit 1

Bits are 1 + 0 + 1 = ⇒ 2 = ⇒ Sum is even = ⇒ Sum bit 0

Bits are 0 + 1 + 1 = ⇒ 2 = ⇒ Sum is even = ⇒ Sum bit 0

Bits are 0 + 1 + 0 = ⇒ 1 = ⇒ Sum is odd = ⇒ Sum bit 1

Bits are 0 + 0 + 1 = ⇒ 1 = ⇒ Sum is odd = ⇒ Sum bit 1

(26)

RAID 4 – Block-level Striping with Parity Information

Parity information is stored at a dedicated parity drive Difference to RAID 3:

Not individual bits or bytes, but blocks (chunks) are stored

P(16-19) = Block 16 XOR Block 17 XOR Block 18 XOR Block 19

Each write operation on the RAID causes write operations on the dedicated parity drive

Drawbacks:

Bottleneck Dedicated parity drive fails more frequently

Seldom implemented, because RAID 5 does not face these drawbacks The company NetApp implements RAID 4 in their NAS servers

e.g. NetApp FAS2020, FAS2050, FAS3040, FAS3140, FAS6080

(27)

RAID 5 – Block-level Striping with distributed Parity Information

Payload and parity information are

distributed to all drives Benefits:

High throughput High security level against data loss

No bottleneck

P(16-19) = block 16 XOR block 17 XOR block 18 XOR block 19

(28)

RAID 6 – Block-level Striping with double distributed Parity Information Functioning is similar to RAID 5

But it can handle the simultaneous failure of up to 2 drives In contrast to RAID 5. . .

is the availability better, but the write performance is lower

is the effort to write the parity information higher

(29)

Summary of the RAID Levels

RAID n (number k Allowed Performance Performance

of drives) (net capacity) to fail (read) (write)

0 ≥ 2 n 0 (none) nX nX

1 ≥ 2 1 n − 1 drives nX X

2 ≥ 3 n − [log

2

n] 1 drive variable variable

3 ≥ 3 n − 1 1 drive (n − 1) ∗ X (n − 1) ∗ X

4 ≥ 3 n − 1 1 drive (n − 1) ∗ X (n − 1) ∗ X

5 ≥ 3 n − 1 1 drive (n − 1) ∗ X (n − 1) ∗ X

6 ≥ 4 n − 2 2 drives (n − 2) ∗ X (n − 2) ∗ X

X is the performance of a single drive during read or write

The maximum possible performance in theory is often limited by the controller and the computing power of the CPU

If the drives of a RAID 1 have different capacities, the net capacity of a RAID 1 is equal to the capacity of its smallest drive

(30)

RAID Combinations

Usually RAID 0, 1 or 5 is used In addition to the popular RAID levels, several RAID

combinations exist At least 2 RAIDs are combined to a bigger RAID

Examples

RAID 00: Multiple RAID 0 are connected to a RAID 0 RAID 01: Multiple RAID 0 are connected to a RAID 1 RAID 05: Multiple RAID 0 are connected to a RAID 5 RAID 10: Multiple RAID 1 are connected to a RAID 0(see figure) RAID 15: Multiple RAID 1 are connected to a RAID 5 RAID 50: Multiple RAID 5 are connected to a RAID 0 RAID 51: Multiple RAID 5 are connected to a RAID 1

Hardware / Host / Software RAID (1/2)

Image Source: Adaptec

Adaptec SATA RAID 2410SA

Adaptec SATA II RAID 1220SA

Hardware RAID

A RAID controller with a processor does the calculation of the parity information and monitors the state of the RAID

Benefit: Operating system independent No additional CPU load Drawback: High price (approx. e 200)

Host RAID

Either an inexpensive RAID controller or the chipset provide the RAID functionality Usually only supports RAID 0 and RAID 1

Benefit: Operating system independent Low price (approx. e 50) Drawback: Additional CPU load

Possible dependence of rare hardware

(32)

Hardware / Host / Software RAID (2/2)

Software RAID

Linux, Windows and MacOS allow to connect drives to a RAID without a RAID controller

Benefit: No cost for additional hardware Drawback: Operating system dependent

Additional CPU load

Example: Create a RAID 1 (md0) with the partitions sda1 and sdb1:

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --auto md --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1

Obtain information about any software RAID in the system:

cat /proc/mdstat

Obtain information about a specific software RAID (md0):

mdadm --detail /dev/md0

Remove partition sdb1 and add partition sdc1 to the RAID:

mdadm /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdb1

mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdc1
